Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IgM Rapid Test Cassette

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common respiratory tract pathogen causing pharyngitis, tracheobronchitis, or pneumonia 1 . There will be a symptom with headache, fever, dry cough, and muscle pain. People of all age groups can be infected while youth, middle-aged and children under 4 years old have a higher infection rate. 30% of the infected population may have a whole lung infection. In normal infection, Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM can be detected as early as 1 week after infected, continue to rise very rapidly for a long term, peaking in about 4~5 weeks. Simultaneous detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgM infection can improve the detection rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.

【DIRECTIONS FOR USE】
Allow the test, specimen, buffer and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour.
2. Place the cassette on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically, draw the specimen (whole blood/ serum/plasma) up to the point as shown in illustration below (approximately 10μl). Transfer the specimen to the sample well (S) each, then hold the buffer bottle vertically and add 2 drops of buffer (approximately 80μl) to the sample well (S), and start the timer. See the illustration below.
3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. The result should be read at 10 minutes. Do not interpret results after 20 minutes.
